Other benign neoplasms of skin

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 9 more specific codes instead:

D23.0 Other benign neoplasm of skin of lip
D23.1 Other benign neoplasm of skin of eyelid, including canthus (also a header)
D23.2 Other benign neoplasm of skin of ear and external auricular canal (also a header)

D23.9 Other benign neoplasm of skin, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
